A plugin created to add autoincrementable Custom Fields to the Strapi open-source headless CMS.

Internally, it creates a two Content Types to store the counters: one for integers and other for bigintegers.

An entry is created automatically in the corresponding Content-Type when you add one of the Custom Fields and use them for the first time. They add the corresponding value and increment the counter in the beforeCreate lifecycle hook.

• Add integer counter custom field: Allows you to add a custom field to your Content Types that uses an integer value.
• Add biginteger counter custom field: Allows you to add a custom field to your Content Types that uses a biginteger value, if you want to count a lot.

You need to have a Strapi project with version 4.4 or superior to user Custom Fields.

Inside your Strapi app, add the package:

With npm:

npm install strapi-plugin-autoincrement

With yarn:

yarn add strapi-plugin-autoincrement

Then run build:

npm run build

or:

yarn build

Here are some planned improvements for the plugin, but they may change based on design decisions.

• Fix bug on using the integer field in the Content Type Builder (invalid default value)
• Add settings option to select initial counter value (by default they start at 0)

• NPM package
• GitHub repository
